Spotted in Tamworth Asda, appeared to be lots of reductions on various cds dvds and blu rays for a pound.
Cheapest price is 7 pound on eBay so really cheap for a good quality album!

Can't grumble for £1, a truly massively over rated album and it's understandable why because of the circumstances around its release, has to be one of his weakest albums though. There's no comparison with this album and say Hunky Dory or most of his 70's era albums.

Opinion or fact?

The 70s albums are my favourites too but this still very good and as I find with most of David Bowie's work it grows on you and soon becomes your new favourite.

Totally different style and honestly I don't think you can compare. You're not going to get the same album from 70s drug fuelled Bowie and cancer riddled, terminal Bowie.
I really liked blackstar. Give it a few listens and it's a great album.

Thats like expecting Usain bolt to still run 100m in under 10seconds in 40 years time? Bowie was young and hungry when he wrote hunky dory... A LOT has happened to this man since! Compare ANY album in the last 10 years to hunky dory.. I rest my case.
HOT AS HELL!!! :0

Well, opinion obviously. This guy says it's overrated, most people wouldn't. I think it's great, not quite up there with his 70s albums, but what is?

This album is awesome (my opinion before he died) and my opinion of it has increased now knowing that he was dying as he wrote it.

It can only be opinion, it can't be fact as music is subjective.

Freddie Mercury did a pretty good job. The Show Must Go on is remarkable considering the effort he had to put in to that vocal performance so near the end of his life.

A stonking album. As good as anything before Ziggy Stardust and after Aladdin Sane. 'Tis a pity Bowie waited so long to produce material of this quality again.
Haircut_100 to mickrick
21 May 17#17
Well before Ziggy was Hunky Dory and after Aladdin Sane we had the likes of Diamond Dogs, Station To Station, Low, and Scary Monsters. Is Blackstar really as good as those classics?

It's a great album, was very sad and hard to listen to for a long time, though....I always referred to him as the "Greatest Living Englishman" and can't do that any more :disappointed:
I preferred the jazzier version of Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime) if any of you haven't heard it.

It's one of his best albums, whether he was dying while he made it or not. If you're stuck in some 70s timewarp then you're probably suffering from cultural incomprehension. Try opening your mind (man). Not everything should sound like Ziggy or Low.

Whilst it's not my favourite album of his, the power and emotion behind it is quite something, especially considering the circumstances he wrote it under.
Bargain and a great album!

Awful album, his voice had truly gone by this and the writing is his poorest.
Sold well due to the circumstances

I think it's a very good album. My only critisism would be it's a bit monolithic.

In my opinion? Yes. I've heard it said that Black Star is "hard to listen to" by so-called Bowie fans. Listening to it for the first time I was struck by how listenable it actually is. There are several Bowie albums I can't listen to in full, Scary Monsters being one of them. Some of the tracks are just not up to par. But Black Star is really a masterpiece.

I got one with the vinyl version of the album. I'll never use it so you can have it if you want it.

22 May 172#32
The number of utter melons who say Blackstar only got good reviews because he died - Blackstar is an album about his death. He wouldn't have made an album like it were he not about to die, the two events are intrinsic. The single is called 'Lazarus', ffs!

Yes, something apart from Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" would make us all dance a bit more during the casket slide.

Wow really! I keep meaning to get the vinyl one, apparently there is something special about the cover.
I pay £10/month for Google Play Music. Fantastic investment.

Agreed. It is an excellent album, that is now a tough listen (for me). RIP David :disappointed:

Went to Ada Tamworth about 1 1/2 hours after the op posted this and there was next to nothing left in the sale - 1 album (not this) and a couple of DVDs including the original Rambo.

Massive heat because David Bowie sadly passed away. Let's be honest. And for some reason, when someone passes away, they become the best thing since sliced bread, when 'fans' who haven't listened to him for years (or indeed ever) suddenly come crawling out of the woodwork as David Bowie superfans. Anyway, I'm off to listen to Amy Winehouse, always loved her.
louiselouise to Istanbul_Kop
22 May 17#44
Can't speak for anyone else, but I've loved Bowie for decades.
The media absolutely ripped the pee out of Amy when she was alive, always felt uncomfortable reading stories about her latest drama. I could see a young, frightened, self-destructive girl who didn't know how to handle her talent or fame. Now that was a tragic death, she still had her whole life ahead of her.
Once she died she was no longer the object of ridicule and became some sort of untouchable icon.
TL;DR: Death doesn't change my opinion (or fan-worship) of any musician :smiley:

I remember when John Hurt passed and I said to someone how he was genuinely always a favourite actor of mine and they replied "Aww that's a shame, he was great" but then couldn't think of anything he'd been in.

Yeah great point! As both of their diseases would have affected their abilities at the same rate Bowie really should have tried harder (smh).

Blackstar is in my opinion an absolutely legendary album. Truly the greatest gift he could have left for all of his fans and followers.

Yep, imagine if he'd gone out on 'Tonight', 'Never Let Me Down' or 'Tin Machine II' :confused:
